Powerwomen Awards 2024 - International | Citywealth Magazine | 2 June 2023 | TBA

Citywealth is delighted to open its thirteenth year awards programme to champion women in the wealth sector and highlight the female leaders of today and tomorrow. The awards spotlight individuals and companies who support caregiving responsibilities, female leadership, and celebrate diversity.

Women comprised 45% of all new Fortune 500 board appointments in 2021, a new high, while Black directors were 26% of new appointees, a tad lower than 2020 after a surge that year, according to a report released by executive search and leadership consulting firm Heidrick & Struggles. Whilst we must celebrate this change, as one lawyer at a leading UK law firm said, “if you don’t keep your foot on the peddle, things go backwards quickly.” Let’s continue to keep the pressure on and keep #payingitforward for future generations.
